out of all the things i could hyperfixate on i didnt expect my next one to be a 200+ year old form of storytelling
#whoops sorry about the million line long tags ->#i didnt know rakugo also had (relatively more) serious stories????#i only knew the famous ones like manjuu kowai and meguro no sanma#and of course jugemu jugemu gokou no surikire kaijarisuigyo no suigyoumatsu fuuraimatsu unraimatsu kuu neru tokoroni sumu tokoro yaburakouj#i can still recite the whole name btw (probably everyone with a japanese elem education had to memorize it lol)#but anyways i realized that the song shinigami by yonezu kenshi is based on an actual rakugo story#and decided to watch it (the one on tatekawa shiraku's youtube)#and wow i got hooked#in the middle of tatekawa danshi's version rn#the differences in the story and general style are really interesting even between master and disciple#ill probably look for another version of shinigami by someone else and then look for other stories#or review the classics bc i barely remember anything about meguro no sanma tbh#i have had interest in koudan (since around the time kanda hakuzan started appearing on tv frequently)#but im still unsure of what the genre is like/how exactly the stories different from rakugo#so maybe ill dabble. just as a treat#i remember hakuzan did a koudan story about joushima shigeru's life and that was really interesting#speaking of joushima its still wild to me that tokio (as a band) isnt a thing anymore#i mean im still not entirely over nagase kun leaving for solo lol#but its so cool theyre making a whole ass company and still doing so much stuff in tetsuwan dash n stuff#why am i talking about tokio this post is about rakugo#anyways
